Chapter 46: Sparks Fly

Zane firmly held my hand as we walked out of the pack gates, and three guardians respectfully nodded their heads in our direction. I had to remind myself that Zane had officially declared me as his Luna, so these moments would become more frequent, whether I liked it or not.
